Peru Itinerary for July

Hey everyone! I'm going to Peru for the first time in July, and I'm looking for advice and insight on my itinerary. I'd love some recommendations for where to eat, and suggestions on what I should do with my free time.

Days 1 - 5 are on my own:

Day 1 - Arrive in Lima in the afternoon
Day 2 - Paracas full day tour from Lima (I really want to see penguins on the Ballestas Islands)
Days 3-5 - Fly to Puerto Maldonado and stay at a jungle lodge for 3 nights
Day 6 - Fly back to Lima and join a gadventures solo-ish peru tour group

Days 7-13 are planned out through the tour:

Day 7 - Day in Lima(Miraflores & Barranco)
Day 8 - Fly to Cusco and transfer to Ollantaytambo
Day 9 - Sacred Valley tour
Day 10 - Ollantaytambo & Aguas Calientes (free time in Aguas Calientes)
Day 11 - Machu Picchu
Day 12 - Free day in Cusco. (Thinking about visiting the Cochahuasi Animal Sanctuary)
Day 13 - Cusco city tour

Days 14 - 16 are on my own:

Day 14 - early flight to Arequipa
Day 15 - Colca Canyon full day tour
Day 16 - Spend the morning/early afternoon in Arequipa and fly back to Lima in the evening
Day 17 - Fly home

Also, if anyone has done the gadventures solo-ish Peru trip, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
